   Episode 13 - Route 666

   Sincerest apologies for falling off the face of the Earth there for a minute. We in part blame the *gestures at everything*. But! We're back just in time for an episode that sure is an episode.

   Episode 12 - Faith

   Yes, it's a longer one, but for good reason. It's to hold all our many sad and heartfelt sighs. Spoiler alert, this ep is still a ten out of ten for both of us. Discussion includes: TV nostalgia, "I have faith", splitting the party! again!, thirsting over Dean in a hospital bed oops!, getting a therapy diagnosis in real time, Dean's death resignation, The HOODIE, "I didn't pick you Dean, the Lord did", lots of dramatic sighing!!

   Episode 11 - Scarecrow

    Episode 7 - Hookman

    Hookman is... an episode! A solid Fine. But we still somehow gab about it for almost a full hour and have a great time. Discussion includes watching The Exorcist in 90 second chunks on Tik Tok, MORE scary movie and book talk (we are still on that spooky-time creep), halter top envy, purity tropes in horror, man door hand hook car door, coffee grievances, Why Older Siblings Are The Way They Are, "we're all heathens," Hookman lore of the lore (spoiler, it's about PURITY CULTURE), honk shoos and mimimis, so many gag reel scenes and iconic gifs from this ep!, "hey, brother!", what IS the melting point of silver?, religious trauma!, and so much more!

    Episode 6 - Skin

    Yeah, this is late. And a bit of a long one. Sorry/not sorry! We were real enthusiastic about it! Talking points include: new tattoos! A book and movie review! Pinnacle of Supernatural = so many thoughts and feelings. Jensen plays a good murderer! Lies lies and more lies. SO much tampering of evidence in an open case!!! The shapeshifter shedding his skin is yucky, and so is his heart. Younger sibling annoyances! Wait, why don't the Winchester boys wear holsters?? The minutia in this episode that build into seasons' worth of backstory!!! Despite the face, the vibe is ick. Paley Festival 2006 shoutout. "HEY." And so much more!

    Episode 5 - Bloody Mary

    Okay, so maybe this episode of Supernatural didn't give us the spooks as much as it gave us the icks. That still works as we creep closer to the heart of Spooky Season, right? Discussion points include: pre-Halloween festivities, do kids even play Bloody Mary anymore??, wait, do kids even have sleepovers anymore??!, THANKS DAD, Dean can't flirt his way through everything :(, walking into a wake in jeans, magic wi-fi and photo printers, car heart to hearts and secrets, the start of loooore!, Ring-style crawling = no thanks!, speculation about Dean's eyes crying blood, men would rather hunt than go to therapy, and much more!

    Episode 4 - Phantom Traveler

    Discussing Supernatural episode 4, Phantom Traveler, should obviously begin with a very confused discussion on Gilmore Girls. Sorry! Discussion also includes Chrissy's (much like Dean) mega distaste of airports and flying, how much the lore around demons has changed since this episode so long ago, probably one too many mentions of 9/11, the Ackles Ass Equation, the disappearing EMF meter, microscopic sulfur, demons vs devils, the incredible journey of Dean's fear of flying, and much much more.

    Episode 3 - Dead in the Water

    Dead in the Water! Hey, this episode is kinda a bummer, huh. Chrissy and Sarah discuss Sam's (earned) petulance (x 2), not taking life lessons from Dean Winchester, LITTLE GHOST BOY!!, the wonderful world of early Supernatural CGI, baths = bad, Andrea's very bad no good week, and much more.

    Wendigo! Chrissy and Sarah discuss Supernatural's second episode and discuss recaps and slo-mo, bad (?) gore, nasty piss boys, the (earned) petulance of Sam, Dean's incredibly high charisma stats, ponderings of why so much circus music?, THE Iconic Line, a hurted Dean, and more!
